September 2023 start

This course is ideal for learners who don’t yet know which career path they want to follow and need to develop their maths and English skills.

Learners will study maths, English and employability skills and have a weekly tutorial. Learners will also sample three vocational areas from a choice of 13 around College and complete a 30 hour work placement.

The following vocational areas are available:
• Art and Media
• Beauty
• Brickwork
• Business and IT
• Catering
• Gardening
• Hairdressing
• Health and Social Care
• Joinery
• Motor Vehicle
• Painting & Decorating
• Performing Arts
• Retail
• Sport

There are no formal entry requirements but we will ask learners to complete a Maths and English assessment before joining the course so that we can assess the learning level in these subjects. Learners need to be aged 16 to 18 years old.

Assessment is on-going throughout the course and learners will receive prompt detailed feedback from tutors on work completed. Learners will work towards end of year exams in maths and English.

In the first instance please send a message to Janet.shepherd@boltoncc.ac.uk
